Year 1984: after two extra/powerful wagnerian dance singles, the band Frankie Goes to Hollywood strikes once again the record box office and amazes everybody with a very sweet song, a pure hymn to love ("The Power of Love") accompanied by a video/xmas_crib that still remains today a peak in creativity. This is our best christmas decoration for this year festive season. Beyond nostalgy.

A new London band to listen any time, the FAITH of MARCHANTS, follow them on their myspace (click here), you will discover some new great music, "Boomerang" is superb! Remember, you listened them here before.

" Dear BADINI, I had the chance to have a look at Seletti's new catalogues today here in Paris. This is really a great piece of work!!! I like the new images, graphics, new layout and very good structured information in there! This is one of the best sales tools that I have seen in this industry! Very useful and definitely a 'book' that I want to own, store for the future and collect more of such great artwork in the future! Fantastico!!!!!"
Thanks & greetings

Claus

A point of pride for THE STUDIO BADINI CREATEAM, a challenge to do even better in the future, to agitate the water of creativity in all areas. To see the catalogue in its online version CLICK HERE. More pride comes from the above message emailed by Claus Krogmann at Charles & Marie, a great design connoisseur and important man in the design business. Thanks a lot Claus!!

The first of four installations at SUPERSTUDIO in Via Tortona and titled AUGMENTED REALITY TOUR, born from a collaboration between Stefano SELETTI, Alessandro ZAMBELLI and the STUDIO BADINI CREATEAM is the PALACE THEATRE, a diorama that shows a renaissance landscape created with element of PALACE TABLE CLASSIC ARCHITECTURE. The scene is destructured on pourpose to let open the "backstage effect". A mannequin sits in front of this hypothetical table/theatre. Together with Alessando ZAMBELLI we designed the scene structure and we took care of the illustrations of the side scenes. The PALACE THEATRE has been photographed by millions of operators and curious people, you can find threads in a lots of blogs. Internet is great!

Note Design Studio have customized a unique Stockholm line for the stylish Italian bicycle manufacture ABICI (GRANTURISMO models), where the colours from four different iconic buildings in Stockholm have inspired the colours of the bicycles. The colours goes from a warm orange-yellow to a saturated red-orange, a chalk white and finally a soft azure. We are going to see fashionable people riding among the architecture in Stockholm with bicycles that are made for the city! A very good initiative, the svedish colleagues have graphically respected perfectly the STUDIO BADINI iconic art-direction. ITALIAN manufacturing and design, SVEDISH flavour.

Big planetary success for the SELETTI TRIP_FURNITURE for which Studio BADINI created the graphic design as proud member of SELAB, the creative SELETTI laboratory.

We are proud of that and we are scared that may come the day when nobody will copy us! :-) now present in the most prestigious design shops worldwide, TRIP_FURNITURE will be shown at the next milanodesignweek at Superstudio in Via Tortona as a part of a show/installation.
